She enjoys singing, and it is this that has made her popular throughout the land, among [[Human]]s and [[Animal]]s alike. She attracts both when she sings. Her personality is somewhat timid, but judging from her actions, she'll do whatever she can to help a friend in need, or [[Link]]. [[Ralph]], her protector whom she has known since they were both children, is a close friend of hers, and never far away.<ref>{{Cite|I've known Nayru was the Oracle of Ages since she was a child.

In the {{OoA|Himekawa}}, after seeing her capture in the future, Nayru placed a barrier around a forest to hide herself. Only a person with the [[Triforce]] mark on their hand could undo it.
